He went with the girls as if he were in a dream; but he was not left to dream in Dora's very plain lodging, where Annie and not the mistress of the lodging poured out tea, and May insisted on helping him to bread and butter.

Le Gardeur rushed into the room with outstretched arms, embraced her, and kissed her in a transport of brotherly affection. "Oh, Le Gardeur!" cried she, returning his kiss with fond affection, and looking in his face with tenderness and joy.

Oh, how good and how pleasant a thing it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the dew upon the mountains of Hermon; for there the Lord bestowed a blessing, even life for evermore."
